Hi, everyone,

I’m a Kobo user, meeting someone tomorrow about a used kindle for sale. It’s a 2014 touch, from what I can tell.

I called Amazon tonight to make sure it wasn’t blacklisted — the seller sent me pictures, including the serial number on the box. It’s not blacklisted, but it is still registered to someone. From what I gather, it’s someone deceased and she’s helping get rid of the person’s stuff. The Amazon person I talked to said as long as there’s WiFi I can deregister it in the device. So I wanted to ask how one does that.

Second, anything I should be cautious about? Or things to pay attention to?
